# Verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617), Lauds
# live query, St. Gregory the Great's own day (2026-03-12) -- the
# Benedictus antiphon. The source's own English page didn't render a
# translation (silently duplicated the Latin); translated here in the
# same register as the rest of this project's antiphons, so marked
# `draft` rather than `verified`. Alludes to the well-known "non Angli
# sed Angeli" episode (Bede, Historia Ecclesiastica II.1).
